How businesses stay successful in the long run
Endress+Hauser looks back on seven eventful decades It was an unlikely pair that came together in 1953 to create a company: on one side, the Swiss engineer Georg H Endress, just 29, and on the other, the German Ludwig Hauser, 58, head of a cooperative bank. But the two complemented each other perfectly. The vision and drive of one was as important for success as the prudence and experience of the other.
Companies constantly have to adapt to their environment, overcome crises and seize opportunities. These days, many of them fall by the wayside much earlier than a few decades ago. What is it that long-lived and successful businesses do right? Or what do they do differently? Time to consult the survival manual.
What do the Simpsons, a tiny jellyfish and a view of outer space have in common? They all convey in their own unique way what it means to grow old and yet remain young. What seems an incredibly long time in popular culture is merely the blink of an eye by cosmic standards. Where can longevity be found on Earth and what are its limits? We take a look – a brief one, of course.
Endress+Hauser is developing the Netilion IIoT ecosystem in small steps. This approach lets users quickly and easily derive benefits from their data – and ensures that the solution fits their needs perfectly.
When Endress+Hauser began building a centralized instrument database 20 years ago, the Internet of Things was still a distant vision. Michael Herzog, a founding father of the Common Equipment Record, explains how it came into existence and why the huge volumes of data are a genuine treasure trove today.
Nearly every Endress+Hauser instrument is developed with the help of computer simulation. That not only leads to outstanding product characteristics but also takes the innovation process to a new level.
Brewing beer with the help of an algorithm: a new multi-sensor system models the fermentation process in real time. The live feed from inside the tank is made possible by a combination of various measurement methods with IIoT technology.
Endress+Hauser harnesses data and artificial intelligence to optimize internal processes along the value chain. The result is improved transparency, quality and efficiency – for customers, too. Here are five examples.
Field devices with Heartbeat Technology have a sense of what’s going on: they intelligently use sensor data in addition to the primary measured value to provide deep insights into the instrument and the process being monitored. The benefits are huge – even predictive maintenance becomes possible.
Katrin Hartlieb and her team brought factory acceptance tests into the virtual space.
Making better, data-based decisions just got easier thanks to the Netilion IIoT ecosystem from Endress+Hauser. Netilion automates the transformation of data from the field into valuable information. Here are three illustrative examples of customers who already see their everyday business benefitting from the opportunities afforded by Netilion – in terms of improved operation, streamlined maintenance and lower costs.
Data is changing our world. Endress+Hauser, too, intelligently draws on this resource – and thus time and again delivers the key differential.
